I did receive this information from another kind genealogist, including the abstract of the newspaper article. Surprisingly, Claude Otis Allen, the father of the family, survived his burn injuries and lived for several more years. He was my grandmother's brother.

Thank you for the photo of the family gravestone. It it sad to think of almost an entire family being killed at once like that. Let's all remember to check our fire detector batteries or wiring on a regular basis!
